Chapter 167 Hidden Crisis
Caesar wiped the black blood stains from his hands in disgust. Just as he was about to walk forward, he suddenly stopped and looked at the mother and son not far ahead with a slightly moved expression.
Xiao Qi swam forward quickly, wagging the tip of her tail wildly, "Mom, I finally see you again. Dad didn't lie to me!"
Sang Luo held the little black snake in her arms. It felt heavier now and looked bigger than before. She touched the pair of hard black horns on its head. They had grown a lot and were not noticeable before. "Is your father coming to see me?"
"Yeah! Daddy promised me that as long as I take a bath obediently, he will take me to see Mommy!"
"..." Just now at the banquet, he didn't even give her a glance.
That bastard was just pretending to comfort the child.
He was willing to find an unrelated stepmother for his child. It cannot be said that he didn't care about her, but that he didn't care at all.
Sang Luo kissed the little snake and was in a good mood. "Mother only wants a good son, not your father!"
Caesar's purple eyes darkened and he turned and left.
The little black snake paused, feeling a bit bewildered. "But...but Daddy was standing behind us just now, looking for Mommy. Why doesn't Mommy want Daddy anymore?"
Sang Luo stared blankly, and turned around holding the little black snake, but there was no one in sight.
"Did your father just come here?"
"After hearing what mother said, father left again."
"..." Sang Luo pursed her lips and said dryly, "He came to Changle Palace to look for you. He probably didn't expect to run into me here and didn't want to see me again, so he turned around and left."
The little snake's body became even stiffer. It turned out that Daddy never brought it to see Mom because he hated Mom?
The relationship between mother and father is actually not good.
Xiao Qi suddenly clung to Sang Luo's arms, about to cry, "Then! Mother, please take me away. I don't want a father anymore!"
"Your father loves you very much. If you stay with him, you will grow better."
When Sang Luo returned to the banquet, it was already late.
Fei Yuan had already peeled several plates of fruit for her, as well as a whole bowl of melon seeds. "Why are you back so late? If it weren't for the tracking marks I left showing you wandering around the palace, I would have thought something had happened to you."
"I got lost. The palace has a nice view, so I took a look around."
"Hmm? Is the view from the Phoenix Palace better?"
"No," Sang Luo said honestly, "but the Albizia Julibrissin tree at the gate of Changle Palace is growing well. It's more than ten meters tall, and the branches are covered with pink balls of flowers. It looks very beautiful."
"Oh, if you like, I will open up a garden in Fenghuang Palace specifically for you and plant a garden full of flowers."
Today's banquet is almost over.
Sang Luo asked Fei Yuan, "You should have finished your gift, right? Shouldn't we leave now?"
Fei Yuan said, "The Beast King's ascension to the throne will require at least three days of celebration. The servants have already prepared accommodations for us. I'm afraid we'll have to stay in the palace for two nights."
"That's fine." It was just right for her to take a closer look at Xiao Qi.
Otherwise, she will bring the little snake with her tomorrow?
As a mother, it is understandable that she wants to see her children more often.
If it weren't for the fact that Caesar had put so much thought into the child, Sang Luo would have wanted to snatch the child away and raise him herself.
The residences prepared by the waiters for the Beast Kings were all side halls of the best specifications.
The facilities inside the hall are gorgeous and large.
The only drawback is.
Just a bed.
"The empty palace opposite is the residence arranged for the Northern Beast King. He didn't come, so I went to sleep in his room." Sang Luo said.
Fei Yuan was calm and composed, "You'd better not go over there."
"Why?"
As soon as Sang Luo finished speaking, a dark light flashed outside the window. A wind blade shot out from Fei Yuan's fingertips, and the assassin fell to the ground instantly. He was torn into countless pieces and thrown into the soil where trees were planted outside the temple.
Sang Luo was shocked. There was an assassination!
Well, with all the big shots gathered together, who doesn’t have a few enemies?
The mortal enemy of a big man is also a big man.
The strength of the assassins sent out would not be too low... Tonight is destined to be uneasy.
"The security of the Teng Snake Palace is so poor, I really don't know how he can be the Beast King!"
Fei Yuan smiled, said nothing, and looked out the window thoughtfully.
Sang Luo followed his gaze and suddenly asked with a vigilant look, "You don't have enemies, do you?"
"Yes, and quite a lot." Fei Yuan turned around to look at her, his lips curled slightly, "Where do you think the poison in my body came from?"
“…”
"And the person who secretly poisoned me is very powerful, covering the sky with one hand. I have been investigating for so many years, but I still can't find out the true identity of the person behind the scenes."
"Stop talking." Sang Luo felt a pang of fear in her heart, afraid that she would be implicated by him. "Didn't you bring me here to broaden my horizons? You don't want me to risk my life here, do you? ...It seems even more unsafe to stay with you. Forget it, I'd better go to the room of the Northern Beast King."
"With me here, what are you afraid of?" Fei Yuan pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Just stay with me, and you'll be fine."
He fell for it then only because he was young and pure-minded. Now, no one can match him.
"Then I want to sleep on the bed." She didn't want to sleep on the floor.
"OK."
Fei Yuan summoned the servants and asked for another quilt and bedding, then went to sleep on the couch in the living room.
Dark clouds cover the moon and the dusk is deep.
The entire Beast King Palace was shrouded in darkness.
In the back garden of the imperial palace, there is a clear pond, like a glass mirror. The bright moon in the water forms two images.
In the main hall.
Alma walked out from the shadows in the corner and half-knelt on the ground. She respectfully said to the purple-robed man standing at the door, "Ni, are we going to take action tonight?"
Another black mist fell into the hall and transformed into a tall and charming man.
Gongzhou, "Ni Xia, tonight is the best time to take action, don't miss the opportunity."
Alma, "It's a pity that the Northern Beast King didn't come, but it's not a big deal. Hundreds of king beasts, plus the power of three Beast Kings, can tear a corner of the seal after being sacrificed together."
Caesar didn't say anything. He looked at the night outside, a little absent-minded.
A wickedly handsome man in black clothes and brown hair suddenly appeared outside the hall. He was exceptionally tall and strong, with the fabric on his chest slightly bulging. However, the evil aura lingering around him made him look somewhat sinister and weird.
"Lord Mi Xing."
Gongzhou and Alma saluted respectfully when they saw the visitor, feeling somewhat puzzled. Didn't this gentleman and Nixia always have a bad relationship? Why did he have time to come tonight?
Mi Xing teleported into the hall and said straight to the point,
"Quan Jin, how about you and I team up and take down these three Beast Kings? We'll split the credit 50-50 afterwards."
He raised his chin slightly, his eyebrows raised slightly, "I came all the way here to help you out of kindness. It might be difficult for you to take down these three Beast Kings on your own."
"I saw that Phoenix Emperor during the day. He's no ordinary person," Quan Jin said calmly. "Not to mention that the Phoenix True Fire has a suppressive effect on demonic energy. Even I can't fathom his strength."
"Him? Not to be feared! I've already inquired about this. Phoenix Emperor was poisoned in his early years, and the poison has already penetrated his limbs and bones. His strength is less than one tenth of his peak strength." Mi Xing sneered arrogantly, "The other two Beast Kings are nothing to be feared either. With the two of us working together, and with this Chaos Mirror, even if we can't kill them, we can trap them alive and bring them back to the Demon Realm!"
"I will make the decision on this matter myself, so you won't have to bother with my advice." Quan Jin's tone became even colder.
"Tsk, are you refusing my cooperation?" Mi Xing narrowed his eyes, intrigued. "This is really unlike the you I know. You're not a timid person. Could it be... you have other concerns?"
Mi Xing thought of the slaves he controlled during the day and the lost little female he met. How could she, a foreigner, know Quan Jin's son?
He originally wanted to lure her out of the palace, but he didn't expect Quan Jin to take the initiative to solve the problem and save the little female's life... What is the relationship between the two?
